Another banner midweek for SEC teams.
If they keep this mediocrity up, beating most of them will hurt our RPI rather then help it. Goodness, Auburn, Missouri, and Florida Are BAD! Alabama lost to South Bama. Auburn lost to Alabama State. Missouri lost to SIUE. Florida got 15 run ruled by FSU. Kentucky lost to Samford.
Glad we got rained out against UAB. State probably avoided another mid-week embarassment.
-
We are a top 10 SEC team. Probably higher. Maybe top 7.
-
Auburn lost to a SWAC team- yikes!
Florida isn't that great and Florida State is plus that was in Tallahassee and FSU was out for blood.
Mizzou is legit bad.
South Alabama is not that bad- probably pretty close to USM level.
Kentucky lost on the road- Samford is a solid mid major.
-
Remember, we almost lost at Samford. They are good. So is South. Odd that KY traveled to B'ham, though...wonder whose idea that was?

We are really starting to see the impacts of MLB cutting 40 minor league teams and the reduction of the draft from 40 rounds to 20. That's a potential increase of over 1,400 players for the college player pool (yes, I know probably a third of those spots are international players). That is having a massive trickle down impact on college baseball and increasing quality and parity across the board. The pool is going to get deeper with the new minor league 165 player roster limit that went into effect this year.
People need to start adjusting their attitudes about other programs, or they are going to spend a lot of time being angry about midweek games.

I was relieved we cancelled.

Yep. I agree 100%. Knew this was gonna catch up at every level at some point. The level of competition and talent has increased dramatically over the last couple of years in college AND juco. Trickle down effect

Yes. Take a look at East Central Community College in Decatur. They may be the best Juco team in the country. In freaking Decatur, Ms.!!!

Exactly! If you want go watch some fun baseball go to a couple juco games. There's a lot of talent and you'll see some good ball. Lot of really good arms and some really good power hitters as well. They're non nil entitled players and still play hard trying to get drafted or d1 offer.

There is also an NIL and transfer impact on this as well making more parity. Transfer rule is really making it easier for G5 schools to get depth

SEC baseball seems down this year compared to the past couple, but it’s still the best conference from top to bottom

The SEC has 5 of the Top 10 spots in the baseball poll including 4 of the Top 5. How exactly is that “down”?

And our coach needs to adjust his attitude about making them Colby Holcombe experiment time.

In the same manner when the conference is down in football. The conference is extremely Top Heavy!
I think a quick peek at the bottom 2/3 teams non-conf and current conf record shows how big the gap is. People make fun of UKs record against the bottom teams but have those teams been bottom consistently or just recently? What the heck happened to LSU and Florida? They were both Top 5 Nationally and now bottom 5 SEC. Yep. The conference is down as a whole.

It's going to end up like every other year in the SEC. 10 teams get in the Tourney and about 6 of them make the Supers

Yep, this.

Baseball season rankings are absolutely meaningless. Doesnt make me feel any better about losing to UCA or Austin Peay or blowing 2 of 3 vs Florida who got swept by Mizzou who lost to a bad team.

You can say that about rankings in pretty much every sport. Outside of the top 5-6 in each sport the rest can be interchangeable. You have to wait and see who's standing at the end and see what conference against conference records look like. By the end of the season it'll show once again sec baseball is the best by far.
